Summary/Abstract: In 1860-1861, in the United principalities press started an interesting debate regarding the danger of the inclusion of the Romanian space in a supranational organism dominated by the Germanic race. The situation seemed much worse because of the intention of some great landowners to bring on their estates a large number of families of German colonists to work the land and to introduce some more advanced agricultural techniques. Among those who understood the danger and reacted properly there were personalities like Dionisie Popovici Martian, Alexandru Papiu-Ilarian and Simion Barnutiu.
